AlbanianFIRST ON FOX: President Biden needs to set up a “firewall” between him and first son Hunter Biden’s legal woes as his allies weigh a legal defense fund for the younger Biden, law professor and former President George W. Bush’s chief White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter told Fox News Digital.
Painter said that Hunter Biden is “a private citizen, so he’s going to disclose whatever he has to disclose,” but the first son is “probably going to get away with not disclosing any of it.”
“Just like with these paintings he’s selling and he should be disclosing who’s buying the artwork, but he’s not,” Painter said. “And it will probably follow the same approach to the legal defense fund.”
“The only thing I think the president and the White House can do is set up a firewall here, distance themselves from Hunter Biden’s defense,” the University of Minnesota law professor continued.
The law professor also said that the Bidens’ legal teams should not coordinate if a potential legal defense fund for the first son does not disclose its donors.
“If I were the president’s legal team, I’d say, ‘Look, if Hunter Biden won’t disclose the name of the donors to the legal defense fund, we are going to have to not coordinate with his legal team. We do our thing, they do their thing,’” Painter said.
Painter said that if Hunter Biden’s legal defense fund donors are not disclosed, the Bidens’ legal teams should not coordinate.
